GTX 980 Ti VS R9 Fury X - 4K Performance Retested
At 4K we can see that the R9 Fury X has a huge increase in performance when at the highest settings, with a smaller increase in performance at all other settings when compared to AMD's older driver.
Now AMD has the highest average framerate at all settings, making AMD the clear GPU of choice for those who want to play Rise of the Tomb Raider at 4K, especially given their higher minimum framerates at the lower settings.
It is a real shame that we do not have a second R9 Fury X GPU to test, as at 4K this game is still mega demanding, so while this driver does deliver a performance increase it is nowhere near enough to make this game play at a steady 60FPS at 4K. You will either need multiple GPUs or a GPU from the future in order to play this game at 4K 60FPS, so let's hope the next generation of GPUs are impressive.

Now I just need nVidia to sort out there performance, but I also need to sort out my performance on the game as of today after, a reinstall of windows my frame rates have dropped to 15fps for the first minute of playing, then jumps to 30fps after that.
Downloading Unigine Valley at the moment to look at what that looks like, otherwise I have some stuff to work out tomorrow when I wake up.Quote
Still, at least my GPUs are scaling enough to make the game playable at 4k with max settings. I'd been waiting a very long time for this, so I'm very happy I can play it now.
I've reported my issues (and the FO4 one) directly to AMD so I'm now waiting on them. I guess it's kind of good news that they have a profile for Fallout 4, because it must mean the game engine will work with it and they could have that fixed before long.
And that would be nice, given that as soon as they launch the X2 it's going to live or die by support and performance in the latest games.Quote
Got a video converting at the moment that has about 10 minutes left then gonna run Unigine Valley, if that shows issues then I will leave it till tomorrow and just watch some films tonight.Quote
. Good to see AMD can still put up a good fight.Quote

Just a note. I had a crash earlier and after that the game was black screening, then crashing. The only workaround that got it going again was to disable Crossfire, play past that point and then enable it again.
It seems there is still work to do, either with the driver or the game itself.Quote
